摘要：Teachers' creativity becomes a perpetual issue in an educational setting. This
study aimed to investigate the influence of teachers’ creativity on learners’ learning
involvement between English for specific purposes (ES), teachers' creativity
toward ESP learners' learning involvement and to seek whether there was any
significant difference between male and female ESP teachers’ creativity to enhance
ESP learners’ learning involvement. A sample of 435 ESP learners was randomly
assigned and was rated both using learners’ involvement survey (L-IS) from
National Survey of Students Engagement (NSEE) checklist and teaching creativity
scale (ELT-CS) of the teachers teaching creativity. With this objective, validated
and reliable scale of assessing creativity and involvement were employed. After
administering the questionnaires, the data were then analysed using structural
equation modelling (SEM). The findings showed that all five parameters of
creativity had a significant correlation with learners' involvement. The latent
variable and supporting indicators of involvement were identified. The findings
also asserted that female ESP teachers performed higher involvement scale than
those males. Suggestion for a further researcher to investigate factors contributing
to EFL learners' learning involvement in ESP class is worth pursuing.
